Wajdan Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 I got it working. MYSQL 5.6 requires strong SQL user password. using the longer and stronger password resolved the issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodeoXtreme Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Glad you resolved the issue. We are running MySQL 5.6 and confirmed that our password is 18 characters (strong) and have not had any issues connecting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
